WHERE'S JERRY NOW?

Jerry Waters finds new life as podcaster

by Bill Lynch for the Gazette

When radio talk show host Jerry Waters was unceremoniously dropped from the airwaves of Bristol Broadcasting’s WVTS-AM in March, he wasn’t ready to call it quits. A familiar voice on the Charleston airwaves for years, he still had fans and people who wanted to hear what he had to say.

Sitting at a table in Taylor Books, one of his new hangouts, the fire-breathing commentator and conservative said, “I can’t stand not being part of the community. I can’t stand not being a voice in Charleston.â€

Although I never listened to your show, I applaud your efforts.

No one in the media in this area has really embraced this kind of technology before. I wish more did. I think a lot of radio and TV people are missing the boat.

ESPN does a GREAT job with TV, radio, and PodCenter...not just highlights or "best of" stuff, but a lot of original programming and podcasts.

Hmmmmm...What do Jerry Waters and Mark Hallburn have in common?

They both post stories about themselves. Before you know it Jerry will begin referring to himself in the third person.......oops! too late.

...and, of course, let's make our semi-regular announcement that Mark has not been banned, his account still works fine, and he is free to post anytime.

Don't let anybody -- especially him -- tell anyone any different.

Yeah, but Jerry's are interesting and entertaining!

On the other hand, so are Mark's.....they're just a different kind of "interesting" and "entertaining." :mrgreen:

If you want true entertainment, you need to check out http://grr.podomatic.com . And, no he did not have anything to do with me posting the address. I actually went to him and asked permission. I really dig the "old" news as well. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

And in more than one instance, Jerry's stories are written ABOUT Jerry, not BY Jerry.
